Bah! Humbug!

And now I've taken my Scrooge hat off, Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2017.
Thank you all for the helpful and friendly advice given throughout the year, for the pleasant good fun shown and the friendships formed and continued.

:santa: Wishing all you E type forum members a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. :santa:

If you have an E type then safe driving in 2017, if you are restoring an E type like me then I hope 2017 sees your car / project back on the road :swerve: and if you are still looking for your E type then I hope that 2017 finds you one to fulfil your dream. :fingerscrossed: & finally thanks to all of you who helped me with my restoration and answered all those questions I had, what a tremendous depth of information & experience this forum has :yellow:

I am sure we had a Christmas last year. Is this a yearly event?. Never mind still wishing everybody a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Ps. Try not to sneek out to the garage to fit that new part. It's a day for the family.

Barbie at my place. Forecast is for 40C maximum for Xmas Day so I don't think I will be putting in many hours in the shed.

Don't you just hate the Antipodeans gloating about their weather. Well at least our days are getting longer while theirs will be getting shorter. Still doesn't stop them having such nice weather. :roll:

Have a good barbie Andrew :drinkingcheers:

Wishing everyone on the forum a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. Thanks to David and the team for keeping the forum up and running and moving it to its new home. Thanks to all the contributors for the lively discussions, interesting restoration stories and also for our little meet way back in April. Enjoy time with family and friends alike and maybe see a few more of you again some time next year :santa:

To avoid confusion to some of our members the Christmas theme and snow will not display on mobile touch devices.

I should point out there is no 'team' keeping this Forum running - just me with moral support and a shoulder to cry on from Angus. How I wish I had some elves to help!

Must be hell: al those thankless hours of trawling through photos of semi-clad girls with E-types, trying to decide which ones are suitable for family viewing......
